In Pictures: King Charles hosts Donald Trump for UK state visit

The Royal Family have welcomed Donald Trump and his wife to the UK, as the US President and First Lady have been carrying out the first full day of their state visit.

King Charles, the Queen, Prince William and Princess Catherine accompanied the Trumps on a carriage ride, an inspection of troops at Windsor Castle, and a special service to remember Queen Elizabeth II.

It was King Charles' mother who welcomed the Trumps on their first state visit in 2019.

The climax today will be a luxurious state banquet where both the King and President Trump will make speeches.

There were also some protests by people who disagree with President Trump on many issues and don't feel it's right that he should be visiting the UK in this way.

After arriving in the UK on Tuesday night, US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump travelled by helicopter to Windsor Castle.

They were met there by the Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Catherine.

After his arrival, the US President was also met by the King and officially welcomed to the UK.

Then the two men travelled together for a carriage ride in the Windsor Castle grounds.

The carriage procession took them through the George IV Gate while the national anthems of both countries were heard playing in the background.

Following a military musical display, including the bands from the Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards and Scots Guards, President Trump joined the King for an inspection of the guard.

Two hundred UK and US musicians were involved in the performance for the Royal Family and the American guests, as well as for British and US military personnel and their families.

The US President and First Lady also visited St George's Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle.

In a private moment they lay a wreath on the tomb where King Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II, is buried.

While they were there, they also met and chatted to a children's choir.

There was even time for a fly-by by the RAF display team the Red Arrows over Windsor Castle.

However a planned joint UK-US flypast of planes had to be cancelled due to the weather.

There were also protests against Donald Trump's visit, both in central London and some in Windsor too.

Protestor Amy, in the photo above, explained that she protested last time President Trump visited, and says that it's "important to make a stand" as she feels the "size and scale" of this trip is "beyond belief".
